Review by Hazura Hakim Jasman

In The Shadow of My Heart: A Raw, Heartfelt Journey Through Country Soul You know when you stumble across an album that just feels like home? That’s what happened to me with Ronald Heart’s In The Shadow Of My Heart. It’s not flashy or overproduced—just honest music made by people who clearly love what they do. This Dutch gem from Don Quixote Records hits all the right notes for fans of Folk, World, and Country vibes. And let me tell ya, it sticks with you. First off, can we talk about "In The Shadow Of My Heart"? The title track is a slow burn, man. From the first strum of Piet Lameyn’s lead guitar to J. Verburgt's steel guitar weaving in like a soft breeze, it pulls at your heartstrings without even trying too hard. You can almost picture yourself sitting on some porch somewhere, staring into the distance while life buzzes around you. There’s something so raw about how Ronald sings—he doesn’t need fancy tricks; his voice carries this quiet ache that feels real. Like he lived every word he wrote. When Mack Raider’s keys creep in halfway through, it’s like a little surprise gift. These guys didn’t have to go there, but they did—and it makes all the difference. Then there’s “Radio Heroes.” Oh wow, this one hit different. Maybe it’s Peter Mastboom’s steady drumbeat keeping everything grounded, or maybe it’s the way J. Simons (the producer) lets each instrument breathe. Whatever it is, this song feels alive. It starts simple enough, but once J. Verburgt adds those fill guitar licks? Forget it—you’re hooked. It’s got this bittersweet energy, like remembering summers long gone but still smiling anyway. Honestly, I couldn’t stop humming it after my first listen. It’s catchy as hell, but not in that annoying pop-radio way—it stays with you because it means something. What really stands out here is the chemistry between these musicians. They don’t just play their parts; they talk to each other through their instruments. Credit where it’s due: R. Lagace as executive producer and J. Simons pulling everything together deserve props. But honestly? It’s Ronald Heart’s vision that holds it all down. He sounds like someone who’s seen a lot, lost a lot, but keeps moving forward. That takes guts. By the end of the album, I found myself thinking about shadows—not just the ones we carry in our hearts, but also the ones we leave behind. Funny thing is, listening to this record felt less like hearing new songs and more like reconnecting with old friends. If you’re looking for polished perfection, this might not be your jam. But if you want music that feels human, messy, and beautiful? Look no further. Oh, and here’s the kicker—I haven’t been able to listen to country music the same way since. Turns out, sometimes the best stuff comes from unexpected places… like the Netherlands. Who knew?

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *In The Shadow Of My Heart* by Ronald Heart is a hidden gem in the Country genre. It comes from the Netherlands, which isn’t exactly known for its country music scene. Fun fact—two people, Peter Mastboom on drums and J. Verburgt on fill guitar and steel guitar, helped bring the sound to life. And get this: the track *Radio Heroes* shares space with the title track, making it a short but sweet listen. Not your typical Nashville story, huh?
